The film achieved one of the largest single-day collections for a patriotic film in Indian cinema history on Republic Day, earning ₹59 crore. This performance was especially remarkable. The film is expected to cross the ₹400 crore global milestone before it moves to Netflix, according to trade analysts, if it continues on its current trajectory.
Filmmaker Anurag Singh's Border 2 is a worthy sequel to the 1997 masterpiece Border by J.P. Dutta. The ensemble cast of the film spans multiple generations. As a thematic link to the first film, Sunny Deol plays the role of Lt Col Fateh Singh Kaler. The next wave of warriors is being led by Varun Dhawan as PVC Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya, Diljit Dosanjh as PVC Fg Offr Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, and Ahan Shetty as Lt Cdr Mahendra Singh Rawat. Mona Singh, Anya Singh, and Sonam Bajwa are all part of the supporting cast.
The 1971 conflict between Pakistan and India was the central theme of the production. The Indian Navy and Air Force play a larger part in Border 2, with a concentration on the Battle of Basantar, as opposed to Longewala, which was the main focus of Border.
With a track record of success for war dramas on OTT and a strong sense of nostalgia surrounding the Border brand, fans may expect a large audience for the March 20 launch. Dubbed versions in South Indian languages will be among the many language options for the film, allowing it to reach a wider audience.
